malls
How can I live without malls and how can malls stay without me. What can be a better place for a loner like me? Sixth consecutive day and I didn’t stay at home. Though the last five days were with friends.
Trying to shop, only if prices are a little low, and trying to find out some familiar faces. Found one. He was a brat. Memories were not flushed. Back to my eleventh and twelfth. The two passive years. I didn’t change but things changed, people changed and now when am not the same, I cant blame anyone.
Well, I was roaming around. Happy to see a few more people like me. I was there for two hours but all in vain. Was turning to go back but hey wait, did I take the entry fees without which I cant think of entering my home. Went back to McD, got a burger packed for my brother and came back.
Again there was no light and my dire need to take bath was not satisfied.
society
I finally completed the book. Its an achievement. Seven hundred pages is not a joke. Took me around seven days.
During one of the days while reading the book, I had a good argument with my mom. I was totally against the society. I cant tell how much I despise this society thing. I kept on questioning my mom about some facts which are the facts of society. Though am also aware of all of them but since I cant deny them neither can I agree with them so I have to question them.
After a discussion of an hour or so, she also got worried about me. Where am I going to land up if I keep on thinking like this? I told her that as our parents they have shown us the right path but how can I differentiate between right and wrong unless and until I know what wrong is. People say smoking is bad, but those who have never smoked, have they got the right to say that. More than its being taken as something which is bad for health its taken to be morally incorrect. Minds are closed and this is what we are taught. Am not saying anything in favor of smoking. Jic, I have never smoked neither do I want to because I love myself and am not weak enough to give in to such a stupid thing.
But above all, am also a part of this society and I don’t regret it because am not Roark.
merry christmas!
It was the day of my life. A beautiful day. My first perfect memorable Christmas. I spent my evening with two of my friends at the mall. The place was overflowing with people. There was no place for parking also but I took my scooty in very smartly. Felt very proud of myself.
In that crowd I was trying to find some known faces but all of them looked like aliens to me. To our surprise, there was also a mobile smoking lounge there. Niti thought that it was an ambulance, an ambulance with a black glass and people smoking inside.
The first thing we did after reaching there was to look for the movie shows. Though I have crammed the timings of all the shows while waiting for Niti at her house. She can never be ready on time but this time I can say that Thank God we were late. Coz we were then left with the option of watching King Kong and thus I had the best movie of my life. We got the tickets and the show was to start after one and a half hour. We went to the food court at metropolitan mall. That’s the biggest mistake but a sweet one. With great difficulty we got a place to sit. It was Sunday as well as Christmas day so how can one expect people to stay at home. We ordered for our food which took about half an hour. The two things we ordered were paneer sandwich and cheese sandwich and I donno but the two were actually different. We had a nice talk and then there were ten minutes to go before the movie starts and we were to reach the mall opposite to that of metropolitan. There was traffic light but when it comes to the majority of people trying to cross the road; who cares for traffic rules. Who has got the patience. Every one is in a hurry as if he is the busiest person on the earth.
We entered the hall on time. In the starting no one is looking at the screen. Everyone is trying to pass comments. We were there not for the movie but to enjoy with each other. That’s the only way in which I can watch a movie without sleeping in between. But this one is different, very different. It’s the movie I loved. Though the whole credit does not go to the movie. It was those three hours that I loved. It was incredible! Two tears found their way through the 2 corners of my eyes and due to gravity they were going to fall but were stopped in between due to some friction. I would not have cried coz I never cry in movies. But this time I wanted to. I made an effort for the second tear. I want it to flow, just flow out of me. Never disturb me again.
But then after the movie I was to drive back too. The ten minutes distance took forty minutes. Mom did say a little but then it was my day. I was so happy.
cold
It was seven in the morning and I was supposed to drop my brother at IFFCO chowk which is 5km from our home.
First of all its not easy to wake up so early but my mom and my bro(varun) will never allow me to sleep after seven(Dad has gone to kolkata else it will be earlier). And, when Varun has to go to school, which he rarely goes(he is in XIIth, so one can understand) I have to get up at six. Sun is also sleeping at that time.
Dad called from Kolkata just to make sure that he was carrying money. lol!
We were on our favorite Kinetic Nova. He wont let me drive. He thinks I drive slowly and he was getting late then. I sat at the back. He was driving. I hid behind him. Those 5 kms felt like 500 miles. There was no traffic on the road. Cold was getting on my nerves. I was shaking. I asked him if he got an axe to break the iceberg that he will find behind him. He laughed. Though it was a bad joke but then all our jokes are like this. We rarely talk sensible things. But derive pleasure out of those zero IQ level jokes. He is smart and intelligent. He is a sweet guy and sensitive too which is very rare, I suppose. He is a darling. After dropping him, I drove back alone. My body was covered except for my neck which could not stand the burning cold. I drove fast, faster and faster till the indicator asked me to slow down. I could not bear it any longer. I was wearing a helmet and covered it with glass just to avoid cold wind, though I could barely see across the glass(it was dirty). I came back, quickly moved under the quilt and went off to sleep.
Hey, actually I didn’t sleep. I was reading The Fountainhead. Dominique didn’t marry Roark though both of them loved each other. I didn’t understand but sometimes things are not so obvious.
